Once upon a time...

Three ladies met at Quilt Guild. They started making small quilts as wall hangings. These "little quilts" became so popular and before the girls knew it, they were selling them. The three ladies were so busy making small quilts, in 1986, they decided to sell kits so people could make thier own "little quilts." Not too long after that, they started designing thier own patterns. What started out as a "hobby" turned into a "little" business of selling kits and patterns. The three ladies wanted to be able to offer more to thier customers so in 1998, Little Quilts opened in an old corn mill in Marietta... and the rest, as they say, is history.
